Re: [tor-relays] Complaint about spam originating from my server

Look closely at the first "Received" header:

received:_from_[209.188.113.101]_by_web184904.mail.gq1.yahoo.com_via_HTTP;_Tue,_11_Dec_2012_03:54:56_PST

This means the spam was sent via Yahoo, and got delivered there from your exit via HTTP (Webmail).

Is there anything else I should do to prevent this in the future?

There's not much you can do about this, unless you want to systematically block all webmail services. :-(

Could there be some way that a Tor user could locally send mail using my server?

It's always good to take a look at the Received headers to rule out that someone has managed to break into your server.
